Google Play Music was great until I updated the hard drives and then OS on a few devices. Each thing counts towards the device limit of 10 and you can only dele

  Just this past week, Google Play Music support has refused to reset my authorizations now that I've reached my 4-per-year limit a second time. This anti-fraud measure makes no sense when they don't track the physical device through some identifier. I've had to reset/restore my iOS device countless times to troubleshoot battery and I tinker with custom ROMs on the many Android devices I've bought in the past year and each time it counts as a separate, different device for some strange, inflexible reason. The fact that it clear shows the last date each "instance" was used should disprove any multiple access "fraud" and even then, the subscription is limited to one stream at a time. Although I am an "edge case," this really punishes the hobbyist. I'm at my wit's end. I liked the subscription service but now I've got to cancel and go to Apple Music. Having to call support and beg once the 4-device limit and explain the rational (OCD and tweaking devices to get them "just right") is just "ugh." The Apple iTunes PC/Mac 5-devices (de-auth any time from that device an unlimited number of times) with a 1-time yearly self device-reset is more reasonable.
